Time to give TCU a ring! Both schools have the same open weekend. Makes sense to stay in the Local Bubble.

Bring A&M to Apogee in 2025 and all is forgiven. Let the Ags keep the gate in College Station and we keep the gate in Denton. What could be more fair ? GO MEAN GREEN

No way A&M or any other P5 will pay $$$ for these lost games, just because of these crazy circumstances. What they probably will do is add us to their OOC schedules in years to come to make up for this year.

I hope that CUSA Commissioner Judy is diligently working to access all the available TV airtime that has been abandoned by the P5. Exposure alone Is valuable. The ACC has gone to a 10 game schedule and is allowing one game with an instate team. We need to be proactive!

Now that is leadership.

I am not aware that small stores had to close. But the lack of business and restrictions on capacity made it not worth it to be open. Big box did things like require masks, limit capacity, make isles directional, tape mark spacing on the floors.. Salons are questionable - there have been community spread. My opinion (and studies show) that masks help in salons. Night and day difference.. but at that time Abbot shot down Dallas's mask mandate. He said it was illegal and unenforceable. So that salon lady used it for publicity and the new deniers ate it up...and dipshit Ted Cruz is out getting a haircut in violation of a court order for the cameras. I haven't been to my barber in 6 months. I check his online booking though and he is still booked up.. When I didn't let my cleaning lady come, I still paid her. When my nanny was sitting at home for 5 months... I still paid her. When my kids swim lessons shut down (note - we still don't go) we still have them autobill. My favorite local restaurants, we buy gift cards, though we don't go eat there. My kids soccer coach does online lessons via zoom.. I definitely over pay for them. My wife and I try to do our part to keep the economy around us rolling. I think we all have some part in keeping this going (including responsible covid precautions). I can't believe the govt sent out $1200 to everyone ... Regardless if they were impacted. That was a big waste. Help the businesses that have proven impact. I really like how EU nations provided 90% salary for workers that would have been let go. It kept their job, kept them productive and directly helped .. Not a mass mailing of money to everyone. Well not everyone.. there was an upper limit. If I got that money, I would have donated it to charity immediately. That's a different topic I guess.

Looking forward to the content of this thread on page 80.

I hate to miss the opportunity for our guys to get the exposure and seeing a heavy duty program, plus the money.. And the "what if" factor.. we might scare the he... out of them.

If A&M doesn't pay up in full: sue em!

It’s two public figures who advocated against wearing masks, among other idiocy. It’s 150,000+ dead. This isn’t difficult. Wear a mask if you’re going to be in close proximity and/or indoors with people outside of your household.

UT, Baylor, Tech all lost SEC opponents, but Big 12 likely to follow other power 5's with league only or plus one. Would love to get a game with any of the 3! @Wren get on the phone man!

Again, it's a strawman argument. No one is asking you to stay home and live in fear. People are being asked to be careful and practice the behaviors that will help curb this pandemic. That is what people need to wake up to. Going to a large gathering in a town with a rising covid count and explicitly not wearing a mask to show how much this is a hoax... That is reckless. It puts other people at risk. It's very easy to be not go out and be preacher of ignorance. That is what Herman did (his family deleted his tweet he made prior to the Tulsa rally btw). That's what our president does by repping medicine that does not work, can be dangerous and shares videos from a lady who is dangerously crazy. Demon sex? Alien DNA? For the love of God. It's not true to say that "no one knows shit" and this isn't a "science." When clearly those are both are both incorrect, but *you* keep trying to spread that doubt.. Masks work. Distancing works. Washing hands works. WHO does not advise to go maskless. Vaccines do save lives. Do not go to large gatherings.

Don’t you know that SMU will do anything they can to get out of the a**whooping coming their way on Sept. 19th.

Rice and UTSA home AND away!!! Who says we can't do big things at North Texas?

If Liberty is paying big bucks we should just play them on the road, I could careless if they came here.

Judy is dense enough to call ESPN or Fox and ask them to showcase UTEP and Rice on a Saturday afternoon while Bama is getting ready to play Georgia.

Then guarantees and buyout clauses are nothing more than a gentleman's handshake between two in-state schools? Doesn't make 100% sense to me, but I'm just the idiot that wants to watch the game with a beer.

Lifer what are her strong suits?

UNT Law vs Texas A&M Law

State of Texas v. State of Texas?

I've been in a Tripel kick lately. Trying to ease off hops and back to nuanced flavors. 😂 BTW - I've never done a gmg charity game. Though we are roughly the same age and likely stood side by side at Lou's back in the day.

i love almost everything you said in this post...maybe we aren't so different in our thinking ....beers man!

I'd support this 100%

Huh? Yeah, I guess I’m saying he most-likely caught it at a huge gathering of unmasked, loud cheering/yelling people. The timeline of events sorta lends itself to that theory, but I could be wrong. That doesn’t mean he couldn’t have caught it by running into a QT for a Dr Pepper & beef jerky afterwards. I dunno.

ULM has lost 3.2 Million dollars from not playing their 2 SEC teams. They already don't have a lot of money, so this could be the end of the road for them in the FBS

Yes it appears to be official now. A&M owes us 1.25 million. Just hope Wren wrote up an enforcable contract.

If a team can not play for reasons beyond its control the contract is null and void with out penalty. I got my degree from Legal Zoom. GMG

So we can play 100 non conference games? Sweet!

I like how they lay down the rules that the stadium has to be owned by the University and then immediately recognize the Cotton Bowl as an honorable mention. Said they couldn’t do a list without it. Nothing against the Cotton Bowl, but huh?

Yeah. That's what I was wondering. I'm assuming the state can't/won't sue itself.

What about that Texas Tech date ? Same date ?

those i totally get...we humans are stupid sometimes and don't always heed to warning signs (i'm one of them). just don't get why big stores were allowed to be open, but not small ones, thus causing them to go out of business for no reason. 7% is huge in America....don't agree with the shutdown. thanks for your answer

Bars, strip clubs, dance clubs, concert venues and those types of places are hot spots. I think they needed closed down.. but really, unless we had an-in response, it will be drawn out and hurt the whole nation's economy. We never had an all-in response from the top down. Economists have researched the slow down and estimate that mandatory shutdown only added 7% to the overall decline. Sweden had a stay open policy and their economy suffered exactly like all other EU nations... But they had a way higher death toll and their leaders now regret it Frontman Behind Sweden's Coronavirus Strategy Regrets High Death Toll https://www.livescience.com/results-of-sweden-covid19-response.html So it isn't a clear cut open/close answer here. The pandemic is real, even in Sweden that stayed open but warned people to take caution.. it wasn't the answer. Norway shut down and tested a ton and covid traced a ton.. They are in the clear now. Whose response is better? Sweden thinks Norway. Obviously we are not in the same category because of our size. So.. I don't know. Truly. But some things have to be shutdown because they cannot be done safely in an outbreak (like we have now locally)

asking you this because you and i seem to be on the opposite side of everything and those words make me think you are good with a shutdown(i could be wrong). i'm having a hard time with the idea of a shutdown. yes, i know that fewer people in groups leads to fewer cases. walmart/home depot/lowes/etc. never shut down, never had issues, and never had any outbreaks of coronoa, before or after mask mandates. why couldn't all businesses have stayed open or at least been given the choice? so many businesses have shut down permanently and our unemployment rate has skyrocketed. restaurants could have stayed open, bars (with obvious numerical restrictions) could have stayed open, barbers, massueses, nail salons and helped out the citizens and economy. i truly do not understand why certain places were shut down and others weren't.

Come on now, Cuomo and DeBlasio are downright saints in how they've handled this situation.

For what it's worth, that Mary Hardin Baylor facility is spectacular given they are division 3.

He is inconsistent in his ratings. For instance, he drops Jones Stadium because it is a single tier and the people in the top rows are too far from the action, but then rates the Sun Bowl high and it is roughly the same design except he gave it points for the mountains. He marks some low for lack of amenities, but then overlooks the amenities of Apogee and rates Ford and the Sun Bowl high and their amenities are non-existent. Off season/Covid filler.

Literally no one is saying that. No one.

We’re not getting paid for these.

"I’m concerned what this means for the little guys in college football." Am I the only one who is offended by the aggie AD's use of the words "little guys"?

Wren in his mind

I'd sure like to see the language in the "bail out" clauses.

Disappointing the team doesn't get to play at Kyle Field this year (or at all? will they?) but as long as we have a season with fans. Please, God. Please.

Dakota said no word back yet from the Cardinals, talked to him the other day, worst time for a player like him

Ok.....LOL. It's his opinion but really??? Has he been to Ford Stadium??
